I am trying really hard to keep my blog from becoming a depressing place. But I need to make just one day a week a place to share how I really feel. Depressed. So, on Friday I decided to make my post, Firsts on Friday. I am going to list all of things that I have had to do that week for the first time without my Mom. I know this first year is going to be hard, and maybe this just might make me feel better. Sisters, feel free to join in. Here we go.
- First day of school
- First time back to church
- First time to Mama Mia
- First almost nervous break down
- First time I weeded the flowers we planted together
Whew! I do feel better.

This calls for a noteable:
How about blowing black boogers from our noses. Sound familiar? When and where would such a thing possibly take place? Yes....You guessed it Cherry Creek. I remember a super fun trip to Cherry Creek. What a fun time listening to all the BS stories when the guys came into the pit. Stories of crashes, and huge sagebrush. I remember Troy telling one where he swore he crashed and someone drove right over his helmet. It's like fishing stories with motors and dirt.
Also at this particular outing I believe Shirley the dog bit one of Joel and Denise's kids. Man I loved camping with your family in the TIOGA. What memories do you have of Cherry Creek?
This will help you over the many firsts you are going to experience without your mom, remembering all the firsts you experienced with your mom!!
Hang in there. Love you.
Jill... so sorry for your loss. I have been thinking about you since I read your blog a couple of weeks ago. I lost my dad when I was 17. I know how hard it is and how emotionally confusing it can be. It's so hard when life goes on and you just aren't ready to let go. You're in my prayers
First trip to Yellowstone! We wish you were here.
Wait, how did she get Internet in Yellowstone? I don't even get cell service in Wisconsin!
And Nikki and her noteables. I swear, we could have her do a blog just on those!
Oh, and what do you think of my new icon over there? Cute, huh? I like it. And it has much more meaning than the old green letter K.
JIll you are still in my prayers- it seems like it takes forever to get through a day with out thinking of your loved one, and when you do you feel guilty and sad avbout it. I promise it does get easier- you will still miss her and there is always going to be days that are hard- but time realy does heal. My family goes and gets Frosty's from Wendy's on my Dad's birthday and on the anneversary of the day he passed away- he LOVED those things. Little things help so much- hang in there!!
I'm sorry I keep giving you advice- I know how hard it is to loose a parent, but if it were my mom I lost- I think it would take me much longer to recover- mom's are just so special!
